Writers You Admire.

[Kaeb]

Per the title, who are some writers you respect, like or admire?

Hell, it can even be people from this forum.

 

[MoreThanSane]

Timothy Zahn. Gotta love that guy.

 

[Bubbles]

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Paulo Coehlo

I like authors who can write a simple story but make it mean so much more spiritually.

 

[Green Ranger]

Stephanie Meyer. Pretty amazing what a mentally handicapped person is capable of.

 

[Solaris]

Robert A Heinlein.

 

[Shiuzu]

Kaeb.

I don't know why anyone would want to read any other work.

 

[Phil]

Drew Karp. Can't recall a single book of his that had a happy ending, but I enjoyed them and his other works.
I also admire my friend Monica, Endy, Adena and a few others.

I can also tell you who I don't admire as a writer. Brandon Rhea.

[Wing]

Brandon Rhea and Adolf Hitler

[Jacques]

Karen Traviss. :CHappy

 

[BLADE]

Shakespeare. Tolstoy. Proust. Turgenev. Shaw. Joyce. Woolf. Cervantes. Byron.

That's my personal pantheon.

 

[Kaeb]

I jerk off to Bill Shakespeare.

 

[Matty]

Edgar Rice Burroughs. John Carter is easily the best sci-fi series ever

 

[jpchewy01]

Orson Scott Card. He's like the Chick-fil-A of the literary world.:CHappy

But in all seriousness I'm going with Pros' answer to this particular question. Just add Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Dostoyevsky, Asimov, Tolkien, and Frank Herbert.

Margaret Atwood is my favorite author/writer. T.E. Lawrence is a close second.

Kaeb, Vanity and Gambler are/were amazing writers.

It's funny, I feel like such an insignificant role-player (which is the truth), that I'm sure no one reads my work haha.

 

[jpchewy01]

T.E. Lawrence is a close second.

T.E. Lawrence is a person to admire in general. He was so awesome.

 

[Teynara]

Frank Herbert, Anne Rice (before she became religious), Trudi Canavan, Terry Pratchett and Bernard Cornwall. All awesome :)

 

[MoreThanSane]

Karen Traviss. :CHappy

Funny man.

Also Samuel Shellabarger.

 

[Will]

Don't think I'd ever say I admire writers. But some authors I like to read are:

Dan Abnett, Brandon Sanderson, George R. R. Martin, John G. Hemry, Paul Stewart, Ian M. Banks.
